The dieter's calorie counter
1983
Netzer, Corinne T.
Abstract: An extensive tabulation of the caloric content of foods (covering 344 pages of data) is given to aid the general public in losing weight. This compilation includes an integration of both basic generic foods and brand-name foods. All foods are listed alphabetically throughout. All caloric values are given relative to appropriate serving sizes of the particular foods. Cross-referenced listings are used where necessary, particularly for major food categories (e.g., cakes, pies, soups, cookies). All of the data presented are based on information obtained from the US government and from producers and processors of brand-name foods. Listings are given for 10,000 foods and beverages. The material is intended to take the guesswork out of calorie counting, and can be useful when shopping, preparing family meals, or eating convenience foods. (wz).
